Victims

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you
"Please don't do the things you do"
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
Have the strangest void for you

We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim like it's always been

And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings, there are greater things
Can I give them all to you, oh

Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven

I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims, we know them so well
So well

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream

And I keep on telling you
"Please don't do the things you do"
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
Have the strangest void for you, oh

Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper, "Never"
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together

I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well
So well
